Roksanda Pejović – Spiritus Movens of Serbian Music Historiography New Sound 26 Tatjana Marković Roksanda Pejović – Spiritus Movens of Serbian Music Historiography Article received on June 10, 2005. UDC 78.072(091) Pejović R. Tatjana Marković ROKSANDA PEJOVIĆ – SPIRITUS MOVENS OF SERBIAN MUSIC HISTORIOGRAPHY Abstract: This study is written on occasion of two significant anniversaries of the leading Serbian national historiographer Roksanda Pejovic (Belgrade, 1929) -- 75th birthday and 45th years of work. During this long period, on one hand, Roksanda Pejovic continued efforts of her professor, Stana Djuric-Klajn, musicologist who contributed the most to the establishing Yugoslav/Serbian musicology, and, on the other, she founded herself several new research areas. Very extensive Pejovic's musicological opus presents several intermingling lines: being also a historian of arts, author connected two fields in her iconography research. Besides, she is the author of the most significant Serbian music histories up to now as well as of several histories of European music. Special dedication to the questions of the nineteenth- and the first half of the twentieth-century national music historipgraphy, resulted in monumental surveys of music performing practice (ensembles and soloists as well as music institutions) and music writings. Moreover, in this frame, two monographs about musicologist Stana Djuric-Klajn and the most significant opera conductor in Yugoslavia/Serbia after World War II, Oskar Danon, are also precious contributions to the national historiography. On the basis of all mentioned Roksanda Pejovic's interests, the paper deals also with her own personal attitudes, evaluation conclusions, positivistic methodology. As anniversaries occasion looking back, seventy-five years of life and forty-five years of work for Roksanda Pejović (Belgrade, 1929) is an occasion for analyzing an extensive corpus, still in the making, an entire period in the national (Serbian) music historiography. The year 1959 demarcates the said period, when Istorija muzike od prvobitne zajednice do Betovena (History of Music from the Primitive Society to Beethoven) was published, as does 2004, when the monograph Koncertni život u Beogradu 1919-1941 (Concert Life in Belgrade 1919-1941) came out and the monographic study Pisana reč o muzici u Srbiji. Knjige i članci 1945-2003 (The Written Word on Music in Serbia. Books and Articles 1945-2003) was written.1 Moreover, the author’s book on music instruments is currently being prepared for printing. Roksanda Pejović’s large musicological corpus branches out into several basic areas, some of which intertwine. Her professional profile is certainly defined by education and pedagogical work. Namely, Roksanda Pejović completed her education in the field of musicology with a M.A. thesis at the Muzička akademija (Musical Academy) in Belgrade (1964) and doctoral thesis at the Univerzitet u Ljubljani (University of Ljubljana), Slovenia (1975). Gaining the Ph.D. title within the first generation of students at the newly-established Department of Music History, the author devoted herself to pedagogical activity and worked as a professor of music history at the Srednja muzička škola Stanković (Secondary Music School Stanković, 1957-1975) and at the Muzička akademija (Music Academy), that is, Fakultet muzičke umetnosti (Faculty of Music) in Belgrade (1975-1995), where she taught European history of music. In addition, she graduated from the Department of Art History of the Filozofski fakultet (Faculty 1 Roksanda Pejović, Istorija muzike od prvobitne zajednice do Betovena, Beograd, Srednja muzička škola “Stanković”, 1959; Idem, Koncertni život u Beogradu (1919-1945), Beograd, Fakultet muzičke umetnosti, 2004; Idem, Pisana reč o muzici u Srbiji, Beograd, Fakultet muzičke umetnosti, 2005. New Sound 26 Tatjana Marković Roksanda Pejović – Spiritus Movens of Serbian Music Historiography of Philosophy) in Belgrade. What logically results from this are her creative paths, i.e. her areas of interest, the central being historiography: European music historiography iconography national music historiography Serbian music performing history of institutional work written word on music monograph on monograph on conductor Oskar Danon musicologist Stana Djurić-Klajn Following the founding of national – Yugoslav and Serbian – music historiography in the works of Stana Djurić-Klajn, it is evident that it was precisely Roksanda Pejović who continued this work with great enthusiasm, both in historical surveys of Yugoslav/Serbian music and in writings about music criticism and essay writing or different aspects of music life (the work of specific institutions, music performing) and the work of individual music makers. What makes Roksanda Pejović the most significant historiographer in the history of Serbian musicological thought is not only an impressive number of monograps and articles from this scientific field, but her just as impressive and extensive panoramic research, surveys of the foregoing on a scale that spans entire epochs such as the 19th century (broadly speaking in the Dahlhausian sense, as the period until 1914), the interwar period or the second half of the 20th century. With her distinct affinity for monumental surveys of different areas, valued for being the first of their kind in Serbian musicology, and a whole series of monographs and numerous articles, Roksanda Pejović basically pioneered this kind of research. They include several specialized areas which she has researched from the end of the 1960’s and the beginning of the 1970’s to date. One of them, commenced during her work on her M.A. thesis, refers to writings about music. First she published two comprehensive studies, one dealing with writings about music up to 1914, the other with writings from the interwar period: Kritike, članci i posebne publikacije u srpskoj muzičkoj prošlosti, 1825-1918 (Reviews, Articles and Special Publications in the Serbian Music Past, 1825-1918) and Muzička kritika i esejistika u Beogradu, 1919-1941 (Music Criticism and Essay Writing in Belgrade, New Sound 26 Tatjana Marković Roksanda Pejović – Spiritus Movens of Serbian Music Historiography 1919-1941).2 Both historical surveys were prepared using “exhibit material”, that is, private editions of material in the form of bibliographies of writings: Popis kritika, članaka i studija poznatih i anonimnih autora srpske muzičke prošlosti iz novina i časopisa, 1825-1918 (A List of Reviews, Articles and Studies by Famous and Anonymous Authors of the Serbian Music Past from Periodicals, 1825-1918), Muzička publicistika, 1918-1941. Pregled novina i izbor naslova kritika i članaka (Music Publishing, 1918-1941. A List of Newspapers and a Selection of Reviews and Articles).3 Writings about music up to 1914 were also concisely analyzed in the monograph Srpska muzika 19. veka: Izvodjaštvo, članci i kritike, muzička pedagogija (19th Century Serbian Music: Performing Practice, Articles and Reviews, Music Pedagogy),4 while her recent publications include the last part of what is conceived as the Pisana reč o muzici u Srbiji. Knjige i članci, 1945-2003 trilogy, a synthesis of two previous approaches – writings about music are followed by a bibliography.5 In all three studies the author followed the same methodological line, based on a positivistic statement of facts relative to specific music writers in chronological order, within a framework of overview chapters. The introductory chapters include a historical survey of the written word on music, without giving insight into a wider historical-sociological context that would clearly point out dominant ideological features, although they are sporadically indicated both when determining the characteristics of the writings and in separate portraits. In other words, the introduction into the world of music writings contains observations about certain general characteristics of the writings of the time, intertextually related to contemporary literary and fine arts criticism, the examination of magazines and newspapers in which music writings were published, data on which authors were engaged and the period, reviews of editorial policy, as well as the definition of the types of writings and subject matter. Seeing as the work of the most significant composers and music writers of the interwar period was known at least indirectly thanks to the collections of articles by Miloje Milojević, Petar Konjović, Kosta Manojlović, it seems that Roksanda Pejović had a particularly difficult task in trying to reconstruct an entire network of writings of music amateurs and professional musicians of the 19th century. This is described very illustratively in the first sentence of the subchapter Muzički članci in Chapter One Pisana reč u srpskoj muzici (The Written Word on Serbian Music) of the said monograph, intoned in a characteristic, sometimes even surprising and quite “austere” way of stating facts: “Some one hundred and fifty writings from 1825 to 1882, over 350 up to 1900 and some 6,450 through to 1918 undoubtedly suggest a rapid growth of music culture in the Serbian past. A historical survey of these brief texts denote two periods: the first, up to the 1880’s, in 2 Roksanda Pejović, Kritike, članci i posebne publikacije u srpskoj muzičkoj prošlosti (1825-1918), Beograd, Fakultet muzičke umetnosti, 1994; Idem, Muzička kritika i esejistika u Beogradu (1919-1941), Beograd, Fakultet muzičke umetnosti, 1999. 3 Roksanda Pejović, Popis kritika, članaka i studija poznatih i anonimnih autora srpske muzičke prošlosti iz novina i časopisa

  • Jewish Communities in the Political and Legal Systems of Post-Yugoslav Countries
    TRAMES, 2017, 21(71/66), 3, 251–271 JEWISH COMMUNITIES IN THE POLITICAL AND LEGAL SYSTEMS OF POST-YUGOSLAV COUNTRIES Boris Vukićević University of Montenegro Abstract. After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the Jewish community within Yugoslavia was also split up, and now various Jewish communities exist in the seven post-Yugoslav countries. Although all of these communities are relatively small, their size, influence, and activity vary. The political and legal status of Jewish communities, normatively speaking, differs across the former Yugoslav republics. Sometimes Jews or Jewish communities are mentioned in constitutions, signed agreements with governments, or are recognized in laws that regulate religious communities. Despite normative differences, they share most of the same problems – a slow process of return of property, diminishing numbers due to emigra- tion and assimilation, and, although on a much lower scale than in many other countries, creeping anti-Semitism. They also share the same opportunities – a push for more minority rights as part of ‘Europeanization’ and the perception of Jewish communities as a link to influential investors and politicians from the Jewish diaspora and Israel. Keywords: Jewish communities, minority rights, post-communism, former Yugoslavia DOI: https://doi.org/10.3176/tr.2017.3.04 1. Introduction In 1948, the first postwar census in Yugoslavia counted 6,538 people of Jewish nationality, although many Jews identified as other nationalities (e.g. Croat, Serb) in the census while identifying religiously as Jewish, as seen by the fact that Jewish municipalities (or communities) across Yugoslavia had 11,934 members (Boeckh 2006:427). The number of Jews in Yugoslavia decreased in the following years after the foundation of the State of Israel.

  • JEWS of YUGOSLAVIA 1941 - 1945 VICTIMS of GENOCIDE and FREEDOM FIGHTERS by Jasa Romano
    JEWS OF YUGOSLAVIA 1941 - 1945 VICTIMS OF GENOCIDE AND FREEDOM FIGHTERS By Jasa Romano (From the English summary in the book Jevreji Jugoslavije 1941-1945. Zrtve Genocida I Ucesnici Narodnosloodilckog Rata, Belgrade: Federation of Jewish Communities of Yugoslavia, 1980; pp. 573-590.) It was as far back as 2,000 years ago that the first Jewish settlers appeared on what is today the territory of Yugoslavia. The remnants of a Jewish synagogue excavated in Stobi (Macedonia) date back to that period and the conclusion that a developed Jewish Community existed in that locality those days is based on these findings. Sometime later a Jewish Community existed in Solin (Dalmacia) and there were Jews in Maribor (Slovenia) as well, even before the first Slovenes settled on the Balkans. Wars and various anti-Jewish measures led to the disintegration of, these early Jewish communities. In the city of Sarajevo the first Jewish settlers appeared at the beginning of the 16th century, after their expulsion from Spain (1492), while Jews from Central and Eastern Europe started to settle in various areas of the present-day Yugoslavia at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. In localities in which a greater number of Jews lived Jewish communities were established. As those localities were in various countries (Turkish empire, Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Serbia) the Jewish communities had no way to be in close touch and to cooperate. At the end of 19th and the beginning of 20th century the first trade union organizations and social-democratic parties started to function in all those areas (Osijek, Beograd, Sarajevo, Sombor, etc.) and a certain number of Jews were among their very first members.

  • Engaged and Their Choirmasters Lacked Expertise
    Article received on May 16, 2006 UDC 78.087.68(497.11)”1944/1950” Roksanda Pejović Choirs in Belgrade Music Life in the First Years after World War II (1944-1950) Abstract In the People’s, and later Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, social life was dictated by politics. The main goal was “to raise the general cultural level of the people” through music. Choral singing which already had a long tradition, was hence regarded as the most useful means for enlightening the masses and bringing music to the masses. The singing of mass and traditional songs was insisted upon; especially the ones with newly added lyrics with a war thematic, while numerous amateur choirs were founded. Key words Cultural-Artistic Societies, mass songs, traditional songs, amateur choirs, War of National Liberation. We were still under the impression of the bombing and the war that still was not over when, on October 20, 1944, Belgrade was liberated from the German occupation. In the people’s and then the socialist republic, social life was dictated by the political leadership. Its beginnings were in cultural centres, adult education centres, cultural and artistic societies and labour actions. Numerous concerts organized by different music institutions were frequently held in Belgrade and its surroundings, in factories, companies, government offices, army barracks, schools, hospitals, on holidays, in the honouring of important guests. The aim was to “raise the general cultural level of the people with music, by creating organizational forms of public music life, by supporting all social measures that raise the musical awareness of the people, but also by indicating to all music creators… the basic and main fundemental problems of their art in the face of the overall task of the cultural policy of our national democracy, which was set by our very new social reality and personified in the brief and clear… tenet of our first five-year economic development plan”.1 1 Pavle Stefanović, Muzičke diskusije u Sovjetskom Savezu, Muzika, 1948, 1, p.
